Traditional students who wish to withdraw from the college are required to have an
exit interview and complete a written form provided by the dean of undergraduate
studies. Continuing Studies students who wish to withdraw from the College
should notify the dean of Continuing Studies. If the student withdraws from the
College during the first nine weeks of the term, she will receive either a withdrawal/
passing (WP) or withdrawal/failing (WF) in each course, depending on her status
in the course at the time of the withdrawal. (Neither the WP nor the WF grade is
counted in computing the student’s grade point average.) If the student withdraws
from the College for other than medical reasons after the first nine weeks of the
term, she will be assigned grades based on her status in each course at the time of
withdrawal. If a student must withdraw for health or family emergency reasons at
any point during the term, the dean of undergraduate studies may authorize the
grade of withdrawal (W) for her courses, provided that the students has submitted
the appropriate documentation for this type of withdrawal. A student who
leaves the College or stops attending courses without officially withdrawing will
receive a grade of F for those courses. A student who withdraws during the term
for other than documented health or family emergency reasons will have to apply
for readmission if she wishes to re-enroll for a subsequent term. If the withdrawal
was for health reasons, a doctor’s statement may be required in order to support the
student’s request to be readmitted at that time. The College reserves the right to request,
at any time, the withdrawal of a student who does not maintain the required
standards of scholarship, whose presence tends to lower the standard of conduct of
the student body, or who, in the judgment of the College physician, could not remain
without danger to her own health or the health of others. The College reserves
the right to discipline, suspend or expel a student for conduct not in accord with
the spirit of Salem College.
